Motorcycle rides
03
Riding along the winding country roads of northern Ardèche and Haute-Loire is a well-known pleasure for motorcyclists. Our establishment is the ideal spot as a "base camp" for delicious dinners before peaceful nights, not forgetting to enjoy a good local beer on the terrace – in moderation, of course!
Fishing in the Loire
04
Our property overlooks the banks of France's longest river, which rises 10km away, offering experienced and casual anglers alike access to catch-and-release fishing areas. From the Ostal, a forest path leads to the riverbanks 400m away, and a small road also takes you to the "Le Pont de Soubrey" fishing spot. Further upstream or downstream, other stretches of river, designated as "Easy," "Trophy," or "Passion" with permitted catches, await discovery.
We issue fishing permits for the day, week or year.
